+ No doubt a load of unannounced titles to arrive before the end of the year.

Great system in my opinion and I reckon the best is to come over the next few years.
 
would you guys say Rayman is at least as fun as LBP or Mario as a platformer?

It's the best game on the system for me, with gravity rush second so far. Game is far far better than LBP as a platformer, when you say mario which game are you reffering to? I think it's better than nsmb ds and equal with nsmb wii but every other mario platformer is better than it.

Well the bolded are system exclusive IPs or are games from a series exclusive to the system and that lineup isn't exactly amazing and sure to be system sellers, the rest are ports that are superior on other platforms. So it's understandable that people find that there isn't much of a selection of games that they actually want to buy on this thing. Also your last point is just wishful thinking. Why would devs be willing to support the vita as strongly as you hope seeing as it's sales have been very underwhelming and so far show no signs of improving.
 
GAF I need your help. I am a new Vita user, and was hoping someone could guide me.

What is the dreaded "Vita cannot play video c2-13623-5"? I have a bunch of videos, but cannot play them. I've converted to MP4, 720p, any help would be appreciated :(.

which of these incoming games will drop this year? can you update this with approx release dates for the ones we know about?



as for rayman, I have played the demo.... it just seems a little on the "light" side. I personally really liked LBP especially multiplayer and love most mario games...

What do you mean by on the light side?
 
the game i think will be the most fun out of that incoming list is.....Sly Cooper. but even that will be for maybe 20 hours :(

I could see CoD being fun as long as the controls are really tight. i haven't been so impressed with the dual analogs for FPS's so far.
 
Buying basically any vita game that comes out that is not completely abysmal (although you did buy little deviants and reality fighters for some reason) does not prove it has a strong selection of games.

that's true but I think BlazBlue, WipEout, Virtua Tennis 4, Uncharted, Marvel Vs. Capcom, Rayman, Ninja Gaiden, Mortal Kombat, Lumines, Gravity Rush, Everybody's Golf and FIFA are strongly good.
 
Do we know anything about AC3:L? I'm hoping it's hub/spoke based, not fully open world, but God rarely listens to my requests.
•Its out same day as Asassins Creed 3 (oct30)
•Female assassin named Aveline of mixed heritage (French/Black)
•Looks like same time period as AC3
•Ubisoft sofia is devolping
•Takes place during 1765-1780 in the period between the end of the french and indian war
•One of the bullet points is that it’s “true AC gameplay”
•Will not connect to Desmond
•Will have “multiplayer specifically tailored to the vita experience”
•”The game has been released as a propaganda tool by Abstergo,who want players to experience a gray area of the Assassin/Templar conflict as an assassin rather than a templar”
•Aveline’s mentor is an escaped slave named Agate,leader of the assassins in New Orleans
•Wildlife like alligators “wait on the banks of the swamp or hide beneath murky waters”
•Liberation will also take players across the Gulf into Mexico”
•Game will take place in “Large gameplay areas,you can run,climb,fight,and explore the entirety of New Orleans without loading a new area.”
 
"light" side....hmm... it just kinda seems like the levels are a little empty.

i was gonna get batman 2 but now that i look at another trailer, I don't think that'll hold my attention for too long either.

I can afford it, but it's hard to justify paying $40 for like 10-15 hours of gameplay.

Now let me bold the exclusives for you on that list, what people really care about, not ports. Sony stupidly made sound shapes for ps3 also, taking away an exclusive from a system that badly needs it


So how impressive is that list?

Wow, it does sound like it might have specific levels as I'd hoped...
and explore the entirety of New Orleans without loading a new area.”
Wow, it doesn't sound like it has specific levels at all.

I'm so confused.

EDIT: Here's the list of games I want on Vita coming up, too varying degrees:

AC3:L
BioShock
DJ Max
FFX
Killzone
LBP
Persona 4
PSO2
Soul Sacrifice
Time Travelers
Zero Escape

Not all exclusives, but I do think this will be the best platform to play those on, which is all that matters to me.

smart as and monkey ball are exclusive
 
Well the previous AC games had specific platforming levels that were sectioned off from the rest of the world, so I would only imagine they're going the same route with this. Maybe that would explain the conflicting messages.

Yeah, it's touched on it before, which is always frustrating, because that stuff has outshined the rest of the package every time. There were a couple of really cool 'estates' in Brotherhood that were effectively really fun isolated stealth missions. Far better than the normal city stuff.

Not that this'll turn me off the game or anything, but I'd love to see them do something a little more focused.
 
you think unit 13 controls like a dream? isn't resistance a FPS? iirc... and uncharted has the "FPS" sniping and shooting (3rd person but still..)

Unit 13 and Uncharted aren't FPS... :P

Yes Resistance is the one FPS and it controls wonderfully.

It's OK. I'm primarily a handheld gamer, and while I can see your argument, one system fits my gaming lifestyle over the other is all.
 
It's a strange concept to judge a platform's quality based only on it's exclusive content. None of the platforms really hold up in that regard.

Gravity rush just came out.

PSO2
Soul Sacrifice
Orgarhythm

Yeah, the Vita is looking better than the PS3 if you want to go that route:

LittleBigPlanet Karting vs LittleBigPlanet Vita.

And the PS3 would be better than the 360, but as you say, it's all a moot point.

The PSP library is the best.
 
Since no one knows about the error I posted earlier- What is everyone using to convert videos to use on the Vita? Looking to put some youtube vids I downloaded on here :3.

Funny you bold games that have console counterparts.

original games are important and certainly welcome but the Vita is a beast on its own and its been said by several people in these threads as long as the Vita ports are faithful they are worth a buy over the console versions, myself included. If TT wouldn't have been stupid and made the Vita version of Lego Batman 2 the same as the consoles I would have bought that in a heartbeat, works really well on the Vita for me where I may not bother with the console version. Disgaea 3 has been awesome for the Vita and a perfect fit.

If they can now make faithful multiplatform games on the Vita why treat them with disdain? Why is it a crazy notion that people, if given a choice, would rather play their console games on a handheld if able to?

Thing is some people (like me) wouldn't get some of those games for console but would totally buy them on a handheld, titles like:

Sound Shapes
Madden 13
Assassin's Creed III: Liberation
Super Monkey Ball
Smart As
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Sly Cooper


I'm interested in only because they are on the Vita, otherwise I wouldn't even bother with them on my PS3.
I agree that the Vita needs it' own exclusives (and it has some) but it doesn't mean it can't share some games with the PS3.
 
"light" side....hmm... it just kinda seems like the levels are a little empty.

I've beaten the game and I totally get what you're saying. It felt like you were just running left to right with nothing else interesting to do but keep running left. The levels all basically have one way to go through them, there is not much challenge for most of the game, and the enemies all basically show no presence at all.

I really don't know why a lot of people prop that game above recent mario games with the clever secrets, sonic games with speedy sections + the multiple pathways, and LBP games with the never know what to expect levels. I guess "bland" might be a better word than "light". Maybe the art style just speaks to people that aren't me.

I used XviD4PSP to convert PSP videos, and I can't see why it wouldn't work for the Vita as well. The program looks way more complicated than it actually is.

I have downloaded like 5 or 6 videos from youtube to my vita and all of them didn´t needed to be converted...

I think C2 is a content error. Vita can't play 720p video yet. You'll have to convert it to SD resolution (or Vita native rev, I think but I'm not sure in this case).

BTW, Sony customer service has an annotated list of errors here:

Quite useful for new Vita owners.

Get Velocity, simply too good to miss (cheap anyway). And Rayman if you havent played it yet. So beautiful on this screen.

Edit: And Gravity Rush!

Check the PSP library.

I'm getting my $$$ worth with P3P already. I'm sure there are other long ass Japanese RPG games in PSP's collection.

Decided to level up my P3P team members to lvl 99 anyway despite someone's tips above. ^_^
Clocking 166+ hours (for $20-30 ? I can't remember) as we speak.

Once you get
to Manod (Heaven's Door)
, leveling up is a brisk anyway.

Just watched the Velocity trailer and it looks nice. Will think about it.

About Rayman, it looks gorgeus and all, but will wait a price drop..

Edit: Gravity Rush is waiting for me!!! just some more days and it will be mine <3

It works out better for us PS3 and Vita owners though. We pay one price and get both. I'll end up playing on Vita the most, but playing on PS3 once in a while with my kid is not a bad idea either.

Or better yet, when I'm at work, I think it's perfectly fine for my son to fire up the PS3 to play SoundShapes.

You mean 1080p right? 720p is no problem, youtube or otherwise.

Comments that Vita games have to be exclusive ... Lol.
